My current favourite lyricist is the fella from Art Brut Fight Storm brewing for a long time, don’t think that I can’t read the danger signs. What’s the matter, nothing, what’s the matter, nothing. Some people like things left unspoken, I prefer to have it out in the open Some people like things left unspoken, I don’t care if you shout it, get it out in the open. Come on, come on lets have a fight x 3 Come on, come on, come on… The nights ending, we’ve both had a fair few, I’m being stopped getting anywhere near you Whispering, doing my head in, yeah there’s friends between us but I’m not listening I’ve overheard of a coupla clenched fists, a few more drinks and it comes to the surface What’s the matter, nothing, what’s the matter, nothing. Some people like things left unspoken, I prefer to have it out in the open Some people like things left unspoken, I don’t care if you shout it, get it out in the open. Come on, come on lets have a fight x 3 Come on, come on, come on… ‘What’s that? I’ll ‘ave him, slaughter him, what? He’s a bit bigger, but he’s drunker isn’t he? When he’s not looking…honestly let’s keep it outside… I’m not joking…’ Some people like things left unspoken, I prefer to have it out in the open Some people like things left unspoken, I don’t care if you shout it, get it out in the open. Come on, come on lets have a fight x 3 Come on, come on, come on… Fight! Formed a Band Formed a band, we formed a band, look at us, we formed a band x 4 Honeypie, I don’t know when it started, stop buying your albums from the supermarket. They only sell records that have charted, and Art Brut, we’ve only just started. And yes, this is my singing voice, it’s not irony, it’s not Rock & Roll, we’re just talking, to the Kids. Formed a band, we formed a band, look at us, we formed a band x 4 We’re gonna be the band that writes the song that makes Israel and Palestine get along. We’re gonna write a song as universal as happy Birthday, that makes sure everybody knows that everything is going to be OK, we’re going to take that song and we’re going to play it 8 weeks in a row on Top of the Pops. Formed a band, we formed a band, look at us, we formed a band x 4 Die your hair black, never look back, my past is my business. My Little Brother My little Brother just discovered Rock & Roll x 3 There’s a noise in his head and he’s out of control. And yes it frustrates, lets let him make his own mistakes. On the dance floor watch him go now, boy those moves I just don’t know how. My little Brother just discovered Rock & Roll x 3 He’s only 22 and he’s out of control. How’s he living? With all of that unforgiving. On the dance floor watch him go now, boy those moves I just don’t know how. My little Brother just discovered Rock & Roll x 3 There’s a noise in his head and he’s out of control. He no longer listens to A-sides, he made me a tape of Bootlegs and B-sides. And every song, every single song on that tape said exactly the same thing. Why don’t our parents worry about us? Why don’t our parents worry about us? My little Brother just discovered Rock & Roll x 3 He’s only 22 and he’s out of control. My little Brother just discovered Rock & Roll x 3 There’s a noise in his head and he’s out of control. My little Brother just discovered Rock & Roll x 2 Stay of the Crack. Good weekend First time I saw her, I wanted more than just to hold her.

Or this from LCD Soundsystem.... Yeah, I'm losing my edge. I'm losing my edge. The kids are coming up from behind. I'm losing my edge. I'm losing my edge to the kids from France and from London. But I was there. I was there in 1968. I was there at the first Can show in Cologne. I'm losing my edge. I'm losing my edge to the kids whose footsteps I hear when they get on the decks. I'm losing my edge to the Internet seekers who can tell me every member of every good group from 1962 to 1978. I'm losing my edge. To all the kids in Tokyo and Berlin. I'm losing my edge to the art-school Brooklynites in little jackets and borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered eighties. But I'm losing my edge. I'm losing my edge, but I was there. I was there. But I was there. I'm losing my edge. I'm losing my edge. I can hear the footsteps every night on the decks. But I was there. I was there in 1974 at the first Suicide practices in a loft in New York City. I was working on the organ sounds with much patience. I was there when Captain Beefheart started up his first band. I told him, "Don't do it that way. You'll never make a dime." I was there. I was the first guy playing Daft Punk to the rock kids. I played it at CBGB's. Everybody thought I was crazy. We all know. I was there. I was there. I've never been wrong. I used to work in the record store. I had everything before anyone. I was there in the Paradise Garage DJ booth with Larry Levan. I was there in Jamaica during the great sound clashes. I woke up naked on the beach in Ibiza in 1988. But I'm losing my edge to better-looking people with better ideas and more talent. And they're actually really, really nice. I'm losing my edge. I heard you have a compilation of every good song ever done by anybody. Every great song by the Beach Boys. All the underground hits. All the Modern Lovers tracks. I heard you have a vinyl of every Niagra record on German import. I heard that you have a white label of every seminal Detroit techno hit - 1985, '86, '87. I heard that you have a CD compilation of every good '60s cut and another box set from the '70s. I hear you're buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real. You want to make a Yaz record. I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables. I hear that you and your band have sold your turntables and bought guitars. I hear everybody that you know is more relevant than everybody that I know. But have you seen my records? This Heat, Pere Ubu, Outsiders, Nation of Ulysses, Mars, The Trojans, The Black Dice, Todd Terry, the Germs, Section 25, Althea and Donna, Sexual Harrassment, a-ha, Pere Ubu, Dorothy Ashby, PIL, the Fania All-Stars, the Bar-Kays, the Human League, the Normal, Lou Reed, Scott Walker, Monks, Niagra, Joy Division, Lower 48, the Association, Sun Ra, Scientists, Royal Trux, 10cc, Eric B. and Rakim, Index, Basic Channel, Soulsonic Force ("just hit me"!), Juan Atkins, David Axelrod, Electric Prunes, Gil!

excerpt from "Water" by The Who: we need water good good water we need water and maybe somebody's daughter
Modern Lovers - Modern World, from the album "The Modern Lovers" (very modern.) You know the modern world is not so bad Not like the student say In fact I'd be in heaven If you'd share the modern world with me I love the USA I love the modern world Put down your cigarette And drop out of junior college Alright... Smiths, Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now (Now?) What she asked of me, at the end of the day, Caligula would have blushed... Johnny Cash, My Old Kentucky Home Sister Sue is short and stout, she didn't grow up, she grew out Mama says she's plain but she's just being kind Papa thinks she's pretty but he's almost blind We don't let her out much, except at night But I don't care, so I'm alright...
guess the song: "I danced with glee as your kings and queens, fought for ten decades for the gods they'd made"
this is one of my all time favorites "The Road" by the Levellers Well its headlights, and white lights, and Black Tar Rivers They’re dragging me around this country as it withers The billboards, signposts, standing in the way Tell of the state of the nations, that we find today And we play and we play and we play To every day, every day To every day And in the front rooms of old towns far from the city With beaten up guitars and hearts full of pity The people gather round singing songs from everywhere They’re torn from the nation, left without a care CHORUS And we'll rid the bloody world for a moment in a word And we'll rid the bloody world cos The words that you heard when you were young will always stay The one's that always stay make the world go away Warm night, clear sky, European town Outside the bars singing their hearts out to a crowd With open boots, violin, banjo and a voice The exiled buskers are happy with their choice CHORUS makes me happy when travelling. The other is Together All The Way You taste a drink in your home town you smile for the things you know that's when you were playing games you couldn't hope to play today Dare you look to the future the spped the pages turn today your hope for tomorrow is to smile anyway today Don't pray to a god we're in this together all the way from the old to the young and from the cradle to the grave Look to yourself because there's plenty of wealth in us all if we fight the good fight the we gonna have to fall to us all Do you remember the smells of childhood do they still come once in a while perhaps you're still full of that passion well if you go on then smile
'Sympathy for the Devil' by the Strolling Ones. I think it should be 'watched' though, rather than 'danced'.
Glad I'm not the only mud-eating, tree-dwelling Levellers fan around here If I could choose the life I pleased then I would be a spaceman...
oooh almost correct, you got the redherring. 'Danced' is used most the time by Guns n' Roses (when live, not on studio version). oh well
Singin along with Joni Mitchel When his face went through the windshield Of his '67 Chevrolet He was drivin on the wrong side Just a wee bit on the drunk side When the ditch became a shallow grave Just when he found what he liked it was taken away -S.N.F.U. I'm in love with a noxious gas I like her face and I like her ass I asked for marriage, she said "I will" So I breathed her in and now I'm seriously ill -Lardpony I went to see a doctor, cos I had a pain or two He said don't be a sissy-boy, there's nothin wrong with you This world is full of heartache, just be brave and see it through Get back to work you little jerk I've had enough of you He looked a lot like Tiger Williams He was brave and strong and true But if you try to pass him, he'll put a hurt on you I was cruisin down the freeway, doin 95 or so When a traffic cop crawled up my ass and pulled me off the road He said around here I am King so your speedin days are through If you break the rules again my friend, I'll throw the book at you He looked a lot like Tiger Williams... And If there is a god above, I know that he must be The kind of guy who's tough enough to deal with pugs like me He won't take no excuses, he'll be tough but he'll be fair And when I go to my reward I hope to find him there. I'll bet he looks like Tiger Williams... -The Hanson Brothers
My favourite lyrics courtesy of Mr.Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer: Don't Slip on Loose MuesliDon't slip on loose muesli, don't drink and sleep on a scree, hang back clergy on a clifftop, don't let your children run free. This is a beautiful story about a little lady called Carol-Anne. Now Carol-Anne was doing all right, and she topped up her benefit money with some work as a magician's assistant. That's right but it all went horridly wrong when the amazing Mr Potty was sent to jail, and understandably poor Carol-Anne turned once again to gin. So one day in a drunked stupor and depressed, she took her young son Franky to the edge of a cliff, overlooking the Vale of Pickering, and for a while the enjoyed the view together. But where was Franky? Let me tell you. Earlier that day a young clergyman came to the self same spot to have his breakfast, and remembering a sermon by Sir Harry Seacombe, his arm involentary jerked forward, and spilled loose muesli here, on this cliff top. Now little Franky approached the cliff edge cautiously, but the soles of his brothel creepers were to thick to sense the loose muesli below his feet, he lost his grip, he began to fall, that's right, the winds took him away by blowing his little Elvis Presley costume over the edge of the cliff. He had no time to cry out. But ladies and gentleman, let me tell you, if he had have done, this is what he would have said: Don't slip on loose muesli, don't drink and sleep on a scree, take care clergy on a cliff top, don't let your children run free. Carol-Anne kept on boozing, didn't hear a word we said, got drunk on a clifftop, now little Elvis is dead!

It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A F***ing Deathwish My Chemical Romance For what you did to me, And what I'll do to you You get what everyone else gets.. You get a lifetime! Let's go! Do you remember back then, when we met? You told me this gets harder.. Well it did! Been holding on forever Promise me that when I'm gone You'll kill my enemies The damage you've inflicted Temporary wounds I'm coming back from the dead Well, I'll take you home with me I'm taking back the life you stole - We never got that far, This helps me to think All through the night Bright lights that won't kill me now Or tell me how Just you and I, Your starless eyes remain - Hip-hip hooray for me You talk to me But would you kill me in my sleep? Lay still like the dead From the razor to the rosary We could lose ourselves And paint these walls in pitchfork red I will avenge my ghost With every breath I take I'm coming back from the dead And I'll take you home with me I'm taking back the life you stole - This hole you put me in Wasn't deep enough And I'm climbing out right now You're running out of places To hide from me When you go, just know That I will remember you If living was the hardest part We'll then one day be together Just like the leaves change in colors And then I will be with you I will be there one last time now When you, just know That I will remember you! Sweet song I like it :woo:
